On the 24th June 2016, our Junior Choir took part in the Bird College 'Festival of Music' at the Royal Festival Hall in London. After having our lunch on the Southbank and participating in some fun street theatre and watching the incredible skate boarders in the skate park... 'It was show time!'

The Primary Schools Choir, of 400 children, sang a repertoire of songs together: Circle of Life, Africa, Can you Hear Me?, Hey Brother, Sky Full of Stars. The Choir was accompanied by the Primary Massed Orchestra. The Secondary Schools choir of 250 young people sang 2 songs: God Only Knows & Changes. During the evening we were able to watch a number of amazing performers by: Primary Massed Orchestra, Bird College Brass Tacks, a clarinet/flute soloists, Bexley Youth Band, Bexley Youth Orchestra and First Access Ensemble.

It was a fantastic concert and our choir performed beautifully on stage. It was a lovely experience for all Junior Choir. Our Head Teacher, Mrs Rowntree watched the show, and she was very proud of our Orchard children.
